Magic Teide by night with French guide

Description

A night of stars and magic

“We sail through endless skies

Let the Canary Islands’ starry skies capture your imagination on an unforgettable astronomical night in the Teide National Park.

Free yourself from the petty things of material life and merge with the Infinite. As your eyes travel light years into the depths of the Universe, you’ll realise the special relationship humans have with the Cosmos and the preciousness of our conscious existence.

In the immensity of the Universe, human life can seem ephemeral. At the same time, the sense of magic and unity it inspires will remind you of the extraordinary gift of consciousness.

Full description of the activity

The excursion begins with a pick-up from your hotel on the chosen day, at the time specified during the online booking process. After collecting the rest of the participants from their hotels, the bus will begin the ascent to Teide National Park, stopping along the way to stretch your legs and take some photos. The route offers magnificent panoramic views of Tenerife’s coastline and volcanic landscapes.

Once in the Teide National Park, you’ll be surrounded by the island’s unique nature. There’s no better place to toast a romantic sunset on the island of La Gomera. We’ll open a bottle of cava and drink it together to lift our spirits and get ready to stargaze.

The guides and our professional astronomers will set up an observation camp with powerful telescopes and laser pointers in one of the picturesque areas of the National Park, depending on the weather conditions.

Along with Hawaii and Chile, Tenerife offers some of the best stargazing conditions in the world. You’ll have the chance to observe numerous stars, planets, nebulae and galaxies, while having a privileged view of the Milky Way at all times. The guides will provide detailed explanations of the celestial bodies observed, while sharing many of the secrets of our Universe with you.

The excursion includes a delicious dinner, served in a typical restaurant, either on the way to Teide National Park or on the way back, depending on the time of sunset.
